Hi Ladies,

I was diagnosed with PCOS (or the bane of my existence as I call it) in January 2003, and I have struggled with my weight for over 7 years.

I could write pages upon pages chronicling my frustrations with this disorder, but instead I will focus on FINALLY getting this show on the road. I start my 6 month diet program next week, and I will be banded by Dr. Garth Davis in either late January or early February 2009.

Now don't get me wrong---this is a true rollercoaster ride, and I suspect there will be days when I wanna get off, but I'm looking forward to getting to know others who truly understand what I go through.

With thanks,

Tiffany

Hi Tiffany,

welcome. I know what you mean. Women used to look funny at me when I said I enjoy my period in a sort of weird way. It reminded me I was a woman because they were so far and few between.

I am not doing the same process as you, we don't need to do the 6 month diet in Australia, but I can be here for you while you are going through it. I do know oh so well, those rollercoaster feelings you are speaking of.

Best of luck with it all.

Michelle

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
